Award-Winning MCAT Tutors

...Human Biology. Performing research, assisting classes, and organizing seminars during graduate school inspired me to pursue a temporary job as an adjunct professor upon returning to the U.S. Teaching here in New York City has better enhanced my pedagogical skills and has taught me a great deal about the differences between group learning scenarios and one-on-one tutoring sessions. I am ever committed to better enhancing your understanding of the biological and chemical sciences.

...and activities. My number one priority in teaching is to empower my students to understand how they learn best and what motivates them. I want my students to feel a passion for learning, even if they do not feel it for every subject. I have been told that I bring energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the learning environment, and that these qualities are contagious. I hope to pass this enthusiasm for learning on to my...

...life science subjects, biology and biochemistry are my favorite. This is probably because those are the subjects I'm most experienced in and passionate about. I am aware that many students struggle in the sciences, but I know how exciting it can be when a student begins to understand the world around them from a scientific perspective. Helping my students to comprehend and appreciate science is my largest motivation. In my free time, I enjoy swimming,...

...Biomedical Engineering to pharmaceutical drug development/target validation. I am a certified SCUBA divemaster. This has given me the opportunity to teach students of all ages skills and techniques used to explore the underwater world. My SCUBA training has allowed me to travel all over the globe, from the Caribbean to Malaysia, where I have been able to interact and learn from a variety of unique cultures. My passions have always focused on the sciences, how...

...between topics to be able to bring them to consciousness quicker. I believe that the new MCAT format plays to the strengths of more pre-medical students.That being said, this test emphasizes on our manipulation of knowledge and thus working effectively through our dense network. I am currently completing my Master's at Case Western Reserve University with the Department of Physiology and Biophysics. I have lived in Florida for almost all of my life and I...

...am currently an osteopathic medical student. I have been working as a teaching assistant for the past three years, and tutor for general chemistry (my favorite!), general biology, and anatomy and physiology. I do my best to help each student move past whatever they may be struggling with, whether it is subject content or study skills. Everything is hard before you understand it, but easy after you understand it. My motto in my tutoring sessions...

...Ithaca. This January, I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Biological Sciences. I have tutored private clients since 2011 and have experience tutoring students in Biology, Chemistry and Math. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of...

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather than trying to memorize a list of equations or terms.

...Geometry, and Algebra II at my school. I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this...

I'm a first-year medical student and recent graduate from Duke University, where I studied Global Health Determinants, Behaviors, and Interventions. From running a piano program at a nonprofit children's theatre to private tutoring in math, science, and standardized test prep, I enjoy helping my students become confident and self-sufficient learners!

My life has been spent in education, especially in the field of the medical sciences. I have been both the student and the professor for several years. Through these experiences I learned how to be a better student through teaching and a better teacher through listening to teachers. I hope to take the experiences, lessons, knowledge and passion I have gained over the years and pass it on to my students.... Every student learns in a different way. The important thing to do, just like in medicine, is listen first and then figure out the best course of action to work out for the best outcome.

...tutoring jobs. I am also a member of the Honors College here at Texas State, as well as a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. As a tutor, my goals are to improve the student's confidence in the course work and help them find the techniques and pacing that work best for their individual studying needs. I am well versed in test prep work as well. I am a great tutor because I...

...mentoring program, and then became a professional educator as a teaching assistant. I love learning because it is the best way for a society to improve itself and I am honored when students choose me to aid them on their educational path. My teaching philosophy is based on the firm belief that every student has what it takes to succeed and my role as their tutor is to gently guide and cheer them on. After...

...I am comfortable with teaching mathematics through Calculus I (or whatever the equivalent.) I am extremely competent with statistics, as it comprises an integral part of both my TA work and research. I also excel in all areas of academic writing. I am most suited to test prep tutoring sessions: I have invariably excelled at all standardized tests. I am also familiar with ACT and SAT formats, and the particular and differing strategies that maximize...

...to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having trouble with a problem (or type of problem) there is a non-sequitur somewhere in that process. My job, which is quite fun in this way, is to identify and correct this misunderstanding. One of the best feelings in the world is helping someone see the...

...as well as MCAT tutoring, I have over 500+ hours of tutoring experience I have done extensive research on the new MCAT, and can guide you using the same high-yield resources and strategies that I used to get my near perfect score. As your tutor, I can provide you with 1-on-1 instruction to help you work through difficult MCAT problems. I encourage my students to think critically and will teach you how to use your...

Vikas has 10+ years experience tutoring subjects in science such as physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, and biology to both college and high school students. He likes to emphasize the concepts in a way that students are able to learn and apply them effortlessly.... Teaching concepts, and building on fundamental concepts in order to understand the complex concepts.

...to avidly tutor these subjects. At the end of the day, I just have experience tutoring. I know how it works and how to get results. Most times the student's actual problems aren't addressed and the interaction between student and tutor is very passive and does not garner results. I work with the student and ensure that all concepts are thoroughly ingrained before moving on to the next one. When I'm not enriching young minds,...

...for my students, which I then used to guide students in the study groups. My goal for each session was to get students collaborating in a focused manner, learning how to teach themselves and teach others based on the resources at hand. As these study sessions were voluntary for students, I might work with 1 student or 20 students in a session - sometimes as many as 100 students would attend before exams! Teaching students...

...Biomedical Sciences program that heavily emphasized biochemistry, anatomy, and molecular biology. As an undergraduate, I double majored in natural sciences and psychology.
